MONEY-CHANGER HOLDER.

Application filed July as, 1926. Serial No. 125,012.

My invention relates to improvements in money changer holders, and itconsists in the combinations, constructions, and arrangements hereindescribed and claimed.

An ob]ect of my invention is to provide a money changer holder which isadjustable, and which may firmly hold the changer in a fixed position,thus obviating the necessity of the user constantly holding the changerin place with one hand as he walks or stoops or bends his body in anymanner.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the typedescribed which protects the clothing of the user.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of thetypedescribed in which the money changer is held in the center as well as ateach end.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the typedescribed in which the money changer may readily be removed from theholder, and the holder readily removed from the user.

Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification,and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed outin the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming partof this applicat'on, in Which Figure 1 is a plan view of the device, aportion thereof being broken away, and

Figure 2 is a section along the line 22 of Figure 1.

In carrying out my invention, I make use i of a money changer 1 havingrods 2 and 3 disposed ateach end thereof, as clearly shown in Figure 1.An outwardly extending flange 4 extends between the rods 2 and 1 providea guard 5 which is rectangular in shape and preferably formed ofleather. T he guard 5 is provided with elongated slots (3 and 7 whichare positioned at each end and substantially adjacent the upper edgethereof. A strap 8 is secured at its mid point to the guard 5 by meansof a fastener 9. An end 10 of the strap is passed around the rod 2 andis secured to the body portion of the strap by means of a fastener 11.The other end 12 of the strap 8 is passed around the rod 3 and issecured to the body portion of the strap by means of a fastener 13.

A belt is provided having substantially identical parts 1 1 and 15.These parts are secured together by means of a buckle 16..

and the buckle again placed together. The

parts 14L and 15 may be adjusted by moving the adjustable catches 18 toany desired position. The guard 5 is positioned between the meta partsof the money changer and the clothes of the user, and in this manner,the clothes are protected. The substantially wide belt i'irmly holds themoney changer and the guard in a predetermined position, irrespective ofthe position of the user.

The money changer may be removed from the user in various ways, such asseparating the buckle 1G, or releasing the ends 17 of the parts 14; and15 from the catches 18 and from the rods 2 and 3. The guard 5 may now beremoved from the strap 8 by separating the fastener 9. It is obviousthat the guard and the strap 8 may be removed together by releasing theends 10 and 12.

The guard 5 serves also the purpose of a pad for preventing the moneychanger from coming forcibly in contact with the body of the user.

I claim:

The combination with a money changer having rods disposed at each endthereof, of a money changer holder comprising a strap having its endsremovably secured to said rods, a guard removably secured to said strapand having relatively large elongated slots in each end thereof, a belthaving two substantially identical parts secured together by a buckle,and adjustable catches disposed upon each of'said parts, thefree ends ofsaid parts being passed around said rods through said openings andremovably secured to said catches.
